Big Al Owens - I totally agree. White lines instructing you where to stop at an intersection are there for a reason, but too many people pull through those lines - thinking they can get where they are going a couple feet, inches or seconds quicker. When I was almost taken out by the trailer last week, I backed up almost two car lengths to give the truck room. His trailer was 1/4 of the way into the lane where my car was sitting.

Maybe the white lines need backed up a bit to allow more room - as there was clearly not enough. My business ships upwards of 100 loads of material per month all by semi truck. We know the value of trucks to our economy and appreciate our drivers. It's just hard to put those things in tiny spaces - even if everyone is obeying the traffic laws, signs and stripes. - Shannon
